Mick Turner solo and art shows

Dirty Three's Mick Turner is set to play a series of solo shows this month in Melbourne and Sydney. Having achieved global recognition as guitarist of Dirty Three, Turner has also recorded with Cat Power, Will Oldham and Nick Cave. Parallel to all this, he also performs and records as the Tren Brothers with fellow Dirty Three drummer Jim White. Last year they released the album Blue Trees which received significant reviews in the international media.
"Turner plays electric guitar in warm, oozing strums, with little distortion and an implicit groove; he creates quiet loops of this as background and then layers finger-picked solos on top.” - New York Times

While in Sydney he will also be presenting an art show entitled Nudes, Beasts, Angels, Flowers, a Birth, a Death and Trips to the Ocean. Mick has exhibited regularly in Australia and overseas with his artwork gracing the covers of Dirty Three and Tren Brothers albums. The exhibition launches on Thursday 16th of October at 6pm where you will also get a chance to meet Turner.

Turner will be performing a free solo show TONIGHT as part of Melbourne's Corner Hotel "The Spring Sessions".
